He’s a middle of the pack starting goalie in hockey, the contract he signed is completely in line with that. It is downright hilarious that a Leafs fan is bumping this while Samsonov has an .831 save% for the Leafs so far.
Jarry is what he is, he puts up good numbers but is arguably the most unclutch goalie in hockey. He’s not a good goalie because he puts up good numbers nor is he a bad goalie because he’s super unclutch.

I wonder if Dubas went ahead with this as reaction to what happened with Campbell where he made the right call to let him walk, but had a contender with a huge hole at goalie so he had to try Matt Murray there (until Samsonov was not qualified). That was a failure, but not as bad as the alternative would have been (giving Campbell term).I just don't know how many times big contacts have to be given out to mediocre/avaerage goalies and have them become absolute anchors before GMs stop doing it.
Jarry should have been on a one or two-year MAX contract worth $3-3.5mil or so. At most. While a decent goalie, he still has a lot to prove and I see a very low probability of him living up to the contract he signed.
The Leaf’s haven’t committed long term to Samsonov. Isn’t the same thing at all.Jarry is what he is, he puts up good numbers but is arguably the most unclutch goalie in hockey. He’s not a good goalie because he puts up good numbers nor is he a bad goalie because he’s super unclutch.

Being so new, I'm sure he was depending on the evaluations of the team in place, mainly Sullivan and the assistance and the goalie coach.I wonder if Dubas went ahead with this as reaction to what happened with Campbell where he made the right call to let him walk, but had a contender with a huge hole at goalie so he had to try Matt Murray there (until Samsonov was not qualified).

To be fair, Samsanov is making 3.6 for 1 year, Jarry is making 5.4 for 5 years. Significantly different commitments.
Samsanov was a Dubas decision. He has a knack for finding mediocre goalies that can't perform in big moments.
Are you referring to his 2x All-Star appearances within the past 4 years?His sample size is a lot bigger than 6 games
He still friggin sucks (dude).After shutting out the Avs today, Jarry is now up to a .917 save%.
Which perfectly shows why bumping a thread after a player has played 4 games of a 5 year contract is incredibly stupid.
Seeing how the main boards now has a "are the Avs pretenders?" thread, it seems like more than just this thread needs to learn that
